Hell close down TYC CO and make that a prison God knows the people there already feel they are in prison. Thanks Robin for making us feel like family... thanks for nothing. You to have got to go. Robin next time you plan on coming to WTSS don't pass your dirty work to Janie Durante. First thing she can't keep her mouth shut and has nothing good to say about you. Oh I could go on but she does sit close to your office and I don't want you to put your red glasses on and go off firing off your mouth to her as well. Thank God that Joe is no longer there. He has been through battle.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-16465067160991826882007-11-07T17:07:00.000-06:002007-11-07T17:07:00.000-06:00@ 4:51 - just curious, why did you vote yes on Pro...@ 4:51 - just curious, why did you vote yes on Prop 4? Do you think it's wise to build three new prisons, or did you just support the other stuff in the bond package?<BR/><BR/>I just don't see how TDCJ could staff them - they're 4,000 guards short right now, and some units are staffed at less than 65% of the minimum.Gritsforbreakfasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10152152869466958902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-26252357137612041492007-11-07T16:51:00.000-06:002007-11-07T16:51:00.000-06:00Well I voted yes for prop 4.I'm a happy State empl...Well I voted yes for prop 4.I'm a happy State employee and have been for 22years TDCJ.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-40099587330398568252007-11-06T19:38:00.000-06:002007-11-06T19:38:00.000-06:00Grits this is off the topic but I have to make thi...Grits this is off the topic but I have to make this comment.<BR/><BR/>Senator Carlos Uresti sent an email to all state employees today asking for support of Texas A&M San Antonio. Please understand we have nothing against the college or San Antonio. <BR/><BR/>Senator Uresti,<BR/><BR/>West Texas State School has been in dire need of your support since the sex scandal broke and created the crisis that sent our agency into oblivion. You've yet to visit our facility or respond to our emails. You have shown no interest, support or empathy for the West Texas State School employees or youth. The smallest donation to this A&M scholarship fund is $50.00. We don't know any TYC employees, except for the current leadership and her cronies, that can afford to give that much at our state pay. <BR/><BR/>Just to keep you abreast of our situation, here are a few tidbits of the happenings at TYC/Pyote. We can't send money for your cause this month because we have been mandated to wear color coded polo shirts, to purchase black slacks and black shoes and be in uniform by next week. So there went our November donation! Our current leadership has some squirrely priorities but we must comply or be peppered sprayed or perhaps lose our jobs, it all depends on Dementia feels that day! <BR/><BR/>Next month it be will be Christmas and our families and kids come first. I will need to use those $50.00 & attempt to have a nice Christmas, so there went that donation. By the way, all we want for Christmas is the current leadership ousted and gone! Have you got clout with Santa?? We have been good, but Dementia didn't think so, so she halted our overtime pay!<BR/><BR/>That many of our coworkers are single parents does not seem to matter to the current leadership. They are expected to figure out how to purchase those slacks & shoes and be in uniform by the mandated deadline of next week. Give our thanks to Dementia and her Dummies!<BR/><BR/>We have colleges out in West Texas too and the University of Texas/Permain Basin and our communities could use your support as well. Remember us?? We know we're not as big as San Antonio but we have plenty of voters. We find it insulting that you would solicit support from the state employess at West Texas State School after not responding for calls for help! We wanted to let you know that we just can't find it in our hearts to support you or any of your causes. Our luck to you next election and Happy Holidays from our homes to yours!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-80318186299286310722007-11-06T18:28:00.000-06:002007-11-06T18:28:00.000-06:00I voted early this morning and I voted no to Prop ...I voted early this morning and I voted no to Prop 4.
